Founder's Lifelong Intention
My wife and I have talked for a long time about what we would want any success of ours to be for. We kept arriving at the same answer: it should open a door for someone else.
So we intend to devote five per cent to education — scholarships, training, and young people with real ability and no obvious way through. And another five per cent to children, women and families, and to people who face barriers to seeing, hearing, speaking or being understood, and to the teachers, therapists and carers who work alongside them.
We are not a hospital and we will never pretend to be one. We cannot promise anyone their sight or their hearing. What we can do is help someone reach a qualified professional, and help pay for the technology and the support that follow.
This is a lifelong intention, and it extends to the companies we have built. We would rather say it plainly now and be held to it than announce it later when it is easier.
It is written here as an intention, not as a completed policy. The accounting, the governance and the approvals are being built properly, and this page will say so at each stage rather than before it.
